Cejudo and Johnson earned the “Fight of the Night,” while Dillashaw and Moicano each won “Performance of the Night” honors.

UFC officials announced the winners following the event, which MMAjunkie attended. The four $50,000 awards came from the top three fights on the card.

Bantamweight champion Dillashaw (16-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) stopped Cody Garbrandt (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) with a first-round TKO to retain the belt in the main event. Dillashaw took the title from Garbrandt this past November with a second-round TKO, and this time needed less than a round to put him away to keep the belt.

In the co-main event, Henry Cejudo (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) shocked the MMA world with a split-decision win over longtime flyweight champion and record-holder Demetrious Johnson (27-3-1 MMA, 15-2-1 UFC). Cejudo took a pair of 48-47 scores to win the title in a major upset. Johnson was a 5-1 favorite and had a UFC record 11 straight successful title defenses going into the rematch. Cejudo became the first fighter to win an Olympic gold medal and a UFC title in his career.

Moicano (13-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) put a serious hurting on veteran featherweight Cub Swanson (25-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC). Moicano dropped Swanson in the first round, then ultimately finished him on the ground with a rear-naked choke to reassert himself as one of the division’s up-and-comers to watch. Moicano got the stoppage at the 4:15 mark of the fight.
